Improving the Provision of Active Labour Market Policies in Estonia
This report on Estonia is the seventh country study published in a series of reports looking into how policies connect people with jobs. It discusses the set-up and performance of active labour market policies (ALMPs) in Estonia. In particular, the report analyses the institutional and regulatory framework of ALMP provision in Estonia, assesses the need for ALMPs in the Estonian population and evaluates whether ALMPs reach the people they are targeted to. For that purpose, the report relies on the analysis of a rich set of linked administrative data which allow to identify the labour market obstacles faced by people furthest from the labour market, and identify gaps and overlaps in the ALMPs and related support provided to them.
Executive summary
The Estonian labour market has performed relatively well over recent years placing the country among the top performers in the European Union (EU) both in terms of employment and activity rates. In 2019, the employment rate among 15‑64 year‑olds rose to 75.2%, well above the EU average of 68.4% and above its highest value prior to the Global Financial Crisis.
